There is a unix-based suite of tools by Michael Rendell called
"regutils" (http://www/cs.mun.ca/~michael/regutils).  I saw them
referenced in a forensic practical by James Filiberto
(http://www.giac.org/practical/GCFA/James_Filiberto_GCFA.pdf).

Have you tried "Export List" rather than "saving" the file?

Sorry I didn't give enough info about the situation.

I had a dd image of the drive mounted in unix and was trying to get at
the file via unix, copy it to a windows pc just to view the event logs.
I was specifically trying to avoid having to boot the image. 

I could get to the file, copy it out to a windows box, but when trying
to view it to export the list, print screenshots, etc. I was running
into the corruption. 

Something in windows must fix this corruption on reboot because when I
booted a copy of the image to get the event file information, I was
able to see the event log entries.
